About the host

Hosted by Claire Walsh

Host profile image
I am Claire, and I run the White Barn along with my husband, Cameron. We have a thirteen year old daughter Kara and we live next door to the Barn. We're on hand to help you with anything you need, but the White Barn is entirely self contained with its own garden and separate entrance from the driveway, so you will have complete privacy. I work as a university lecturer in Cambridge and my husband works for local government while Kara attends the local secondary school. The barn was in a rather dilapidated state when we moved here, so we refurbished it to our own design in 2006 and have really enjoyed having visitors who can enjoy its special character and the charm of Hilton village.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in the Fens, and my mother still lives in Lincolnshire and my brother lives nearby in Cambridge, so this area has been home to me all my life. It's a great region to live and work, with plenty to do. The best aspect for us as a family is that we can enjoy village life out in the countryside, yet have access to the theatres, shops and museums in Cambridge in under 20 minutes. Hilton is a beautiful village with some lovely historic houses, an extensive green and a common which is great for walks, and of course it has its famous turf maze. Hilton has a great community spirit with a Feast week in early July every year with marquee on the green and plenty of entertainments. It's great to see children of all ages running round the maze.

What makes this property unique

The White Barn has great character - its best feature is the high, angled ceiling supported by beams and the large windows covering the whole of the wall to the garden. Everyone loves the amount of light that comes in, while at the same time, the Barn feels cosy and comforting. It's an old-fashioned weather-boarded barn on the outside, but has all the benefits of being a new-build on the inside. It's location also has dual benefits - you can enjoy village life, the countryside and the rich history around Hilton but also visit the vibrant and historic city of Cambridge in only a few minutes.
